Plugging the workstation directly into the Comcast cable modem puts

at it trying to break in.

This only applies if there is any service reachable, which isn't by
default in Fedora. If you want server daemons, you have to install them
manually. Unless you do it, they won't be reachable from the outside.
Fedora comes with firewalld per default. If you want to expose a
service, you have to manually create a rule there. Fedora can be
properly used in the public internet, which is a common use case in
cellular networks and datacenters.


I have no services running, as far as I know.  I did not install any.

Thank-you Marco.
